Jealous ex-wife, hires goons to kill ex husband.


This story could have just happened and didn't need the Gucci name.

I just found nothing interesting about the Gucci name in this film.

It's about the Gucci family so of course they're going to use it. In reality, the murder reason wasn't just jealousy. The movie took some liberties with he story. Maurizio and Partrizia had 2 daughters, not just one. One of them wrote a book about the real story. Patrizia had a brain tumour that had to be taken out, and after the operation she began acting strange. The couple was separated for 7 years before Maurizio started dating Paola. There were many reasons for the murder, I think the biggest being that Patrizia was pushed aside and could no longer take advantage of the Gucci name. She was very ambitious and materialistic. Mostly money and ego drove her to do what she did.
